a painting and a meme

I decided to blow the dust off the easel and do a little bit of painting, which certainly isn’t my strong suit, but oh how I enjoy messing about with paint!

It turned out a tad more somber than I’d initially envisioned — especially given the nature of Oona’s “Happy” challenge. Still, I had fun creating it — which, I believe, is the whole point.

Finally, I’d like to get to a meme that Geri at Sewable tagged me with. It’s sort of a “slam book” (remember those?) style questionnaire. I won’t tag anyone with it afterward — not because I’m a no-fun meme killer, but because I’m a hermit with a ridiculously small social circle. So if you happen to surf in and haven’t been hit with this meme yet, consider yourself tagged. 🙂

What was I doing 10 years ago?I was 25, married to my first husband, living in San Jose, and working, unhappily, as a writer of computer software manuals.

5 things on my to do listFor today:
Bake a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread
Get the a/c in my car fixed
Read The Ancestor’s Tale by Richard Dawkins
Organize my sewing area
I haven’t thought of a fifth yet!
Snacks I enjoyI enjoy fruits and veggies, but unfortunately I always end up reaching for potato chips and pastries
Things I will do if I were billionaireGo back to university and get about 20 more degrees. Fund the arts. Travel ’round the globe.

many thanks oona! both for the comment and for coming up with this challenge. it’s given me a much-needed push to pick up the brushes again and to tell my inner critic to shut the hell up and let me have fun! 😉
